| State BJP to oppose revocation of AFSPA | | | Jammu, April 30
State Bhartiya Janta Party has expressed concern over the report that the Union Government is contemplating to withdraw Armed Forces Special Powers Act AFSPA), from Jammu and Kashmir and prisoners held on the charges of anti-India activities.
In a press statement issued here today, Party's state President Ashok Khajuria said that BJP delegation had opposed this suggestion during their presentations at the Third Round Table Conference, and warned the authorities that the anti-terror laws, if withdrawn from the state, would only help Pakistan and its agents in Kashmir.
Ashok Khajuria said that the BJP delegation had also questioned the very rationale behind such a suggestion at a time when the Pakistani-trained and abetted gun-totting elements have unleashed a wave of death and destruction not only in Kashmir but also in the Jammu province.
He revealed that one of the factors which had compelled the BJP to dissociate itself from the Working Group recommendations and "joint statement" was the insistence of all the valley-based leaders on the need to withdraw anti-terror laws, rehabilitation of relatives of the slain militants and reviewing of the cases of those who had been in the jails on the charges of anti-India and militant-related activities.
Ashok Khajuria said that the BJP under no situation accept any suggestion that directly indirectly encourages militants and separatists and that it is for adopting proactive policy against both of them
